TSMC began its Green Building Project in 2006, in which all new properties follow the standards of the USGBC Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) Rating System, and Taiwan Ecology, Energy Saving, Waste Reduction, and Health (EEWH) rating system. As of 2015, 18 TSMC buildings have been certified by the USGBC LEED standard; two have obtained Platinum ratings, and 16 have gained Gold ratings; 10 buildings have been certified with Taiwan EEWH Diamond ratings.

TSMC initiated a green campus development policy at the end of 2010 to raise the efficiency of green buildings, optimize resource-sharing to reduce cost, eliminate unnecessary equipment and conserve resources, and to thrive alongside the natural environment through comprehensive site planning. TSMC plans to make Fab 12 in Hsinchu, Fab 15 in Taichung, and Fab 14 in Tainan into the company's three main green campuses.
